Another incredible day! We were just thrilled this morning to leave our new mosquito friends behind and hit the road. Sunny, not to warm and again a nice tail wind. The first 30 km we covered easily and would have been uneventful except for the rock slide. Riding your bike on the shoulder, you get to see just how big and how far the rocks travel down the cliff and on to the side and sometimes the road. As we went by, we could hear rocks fall as they came off the cliff face. Immediately, we accelarated to put space between us and the slide and quickly crossed the road to the other side.The rock slide went on long enough for Helene to dig out her camera from her bags and record part of it. Meanwhile on the road cars just drove by oblivious to what had just happened.
Before long we were climbing a small but nasty little hill at Bras d'Epee on our way to lunch. At lunch, we ran into another cycling couple from Gatineau who had left home on May 31st and cycled to Gaspesie. They were on the last bit of their trip and advised us that we would have loads of fun right after lunch. And fun we had!!!
